More Stuff

I've wanted this one for a while, and now Kwanzaa Barbie has finally come to join me.

She came with her box, but the box has been opened.

For now I will display her in her box.

I'd never wanted a Justin Bieber doll.  I've walked right by them time and time again in stores (but I did buy one of the clothing sets for my other teen boys).  But then someone on Facebook posted about how the prices of these dolls had been falling rapidly amid the recent troubles that the singer has been having.  Someone else made the point that it would be worth the cheap prices just to get the clothes, and that caught my attention.  I remembered seeing a JB playset that I liked on Vanessa's blog, and decided to finally search for one and I picked this one up since the price was right.

I need some doctors and nurses around here.  My dolly infirmary is overflowing, and my dolls are not getting any help from me.  I have a GI Jane nurse, but she came here without any of her gear.  She would probably try to punch me in the face if I put her in this, but SOMEBODY'S got to step up and help my injured dollies.

 Here are a couple of additional photos of my Phicen (that they are not calling Jinx).  Also, here is a video of my Jinx vs. Jinx vs. Phicen comparison that includes some new photos and some video footage.

  2. I am so glad you found Kwanzaa Barbie. She is such a lovely doll with lots of hair. The other additions are nice as well.

    I enjoyed the video compilation of Jinx photos especially Ken's cameo! Oh my... Ken's touchy feely behavior was hilarious!

  7. LOLOL! Ken was enjoying that demonstration wasn't he? That was quite the pliable booty she has. I've seen some of those "She's Soft" Barbies that are soft and cuddley so the kids can snuggle with them. I wonder if it's the same material.

  8. LOL Muff! I can honestly say that Ken has been all smiles since his time in the video. :) I don't think I've seen the "She's Soft" Barbies. I remember a Barbie years ago that was marketed as a Barbie that girls could cuddle with at bedtime, but that Barbie had a cloth stuffed body. As for the Phicen, I noticed that she was quite a bit softer than previous Phicens as soon as I took her out of the box. This one really is a huge improvement over the others (in other ways - I really don't care about the soft "skin", I'm just amused by it).

    1. Thanks Vanessa! The Bieber set should be fun. I'll have to paint the drum set eventually. Yep, Ken was having a good time! That one normally hangs out on my desk at work, so he was glad to be back here with the others and seeing some action.
